In order to better serve you, on Monday, September 10, both Vie and Vistro will begin accepting online reservations via Resy. Reservations for Vie and Vistro will no longer be available through OpenTable.

We are always striving to provide you with top-of-the-line hospitality, from when you make your reservations to when you put down your dessert spoon. This move to Resy reflects that dedication.

Resy allows us to continue offering convenient online reservations, while adding new features for you (such as text confirmations and online tickets to special events at the restaurants), with the ultimate goals of streamlining communications and improving your overall experience with us.

A few things to note:

Any existing reservations you've already made through OpenTable for future dates will be automatically transferred and honored; you don't need to do a thing.

To book a reservation via Resy, visit resy.com or download the Resy app in your smartphone's app store. The website and app are convenient, free and easy to use (you will need to create a quick account). Resy reservations for Vie and Vistro will be available starting September 10.

After you’ve set up your Resy account, you can go straight to the Vie and Vistro websites to make your reservations from there.

You are always invited to call or email us to book your reservations. We love hearing from you directly!

The Vie team is honored to be included on Phil Vettel's most recent compilation of restaurants "essential to the Chicago dining experience right now," known as "Phil's 50" list.

Vie, quiet sophistication at the Cook County border

No serious discussion of great suburban restaurants can fail to include Paul Virant’s sophisticated, contemporary restaurant and his market-driven, exemplary menu. I’d visit just to sit at the bar (and I have); the cocktails at Vie are as good as I’ve had anywhere (and I get around).

“Not enough Chicagoans go to suburban Western Springs for Paul Virant’s farm-to-table food (even though you could make a romantic getaway by train there) ... . I’ve only been a few times myself, but Vie holds a disproportionate place in best things I’ve ever eaten anyway.”
